    • Located in the heart of the mountains, the Pyrenees Animal Park is home to around 100 different species and nearly 500 animals spread over 14 hectares of nature.

      The park offers optimal living conditions for the emblematic species of the Pyrenees (brown bears, wolves, marmots, ibex, etc.), but also for species from completely different horizons (red panda, lemurs, gibbons, etc.).

      Moreover, the Pyrenees Animal Park is now one of the largest semi-free animal parks in Europe. This place of conservation and protection works to safeguard endangered species and welcomes many births and new species each year. This 2023 season, you will be able to come and meet bat-eared bats, bush dogs or even splendid colorful birds in the heart of the immersive aviaries.

      Possibility of sleeping on site in the three ecolodges (bears, black wolves, gray wolves, etc.) or living the experience of being a keeper for a day close to the animals.

    At some point we will have to stop with the very small enclosures. It's sad, sickening and infuriating. It's a zoo, a real old-fashioned one, very awful. How I was able to pay for an entry instead of donating this money to an association, I'm really stupid. I blame myself, don't make the same mistake as me.

  • "Awesome Day Out"

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by NorthStar42043983533 (Cambridge, United Kingdom) on 12/09/2024

    Awesome day out. Animals looked healthy, some of the areas smaller than would expect and some of the English translations are a bit off but a really fun day out.

    A really good zoo, well thought out enclosures with some animals free to wander amongst you (particularly liked the lemurs). The visit takes at least 2 hours and some parts are a bit steep (although...
